Veld Grass Seed

Biomosome™ eco-matched, indigenous grass seed mixtures.

The sole distributor of Biomosome™ eco-matched pasture and veld seed.

Biomosome™ seed mixtures have been developed on BIOME principles, with the genetics of the seed species adapted to suit the conditions of the intended environment. Biomosome™ seed mixtures represent a significant advance over the commonly accessible all-purpose veld seed and pasture seed mixtures.

Biomosome™ is a self-sustaining indigenous grass seed mix which benefits the ecosystem, through soil condition improvement and ecological enrichment of degraded environments.

Indigenous biome matched grass seed mixes for all regions across South Africa.

Variety of carefully selected highly productive grasses that thrive in most climatic conditions.

A product that works with the laws of nature to save you time, effort, and money.
